I've decided to Quit playing here,mainly Blitz until I reach 1800 FIDE.I'm 1577 currently.I was wondering how to make the most of CC membership.Can any of you guys suggest a fixed schedule on studying making use of the materials on here?I'd be glad if you could help!

Thnx!I've seen it before though and am looking for something other than that.

Oh ok, I see, sorry. I honestly don't know what a good fixed schedule would look like, but I'm sure it'd include at least 15 minutes of Tactics Trainer daily, with Chess Mentor and Video Lessons, with emphasis on improving your weaknesses.

I think I should do what the study plan suggests first.It looks juicy!I only saw it once and was too lazy to watch more than 2 videos.But it's time to get serious.From now on,Im gonna take it seriously and finish the study plan before moving on to the next step.Thnx Mainline_Novelty!

Most likely it will be 'fail' if you want to cross 1800 this year. It's not so easy.

I dont necessarily want to cross it this year.Though Id like to.But it isnt realistic as 10th requires much effort.

I'd like to see what happens Likhit. Keep us posted re your study plan. Might upgrade to diamond too.

U know better likhit,10th grade is way more important than even becoming an IM.

I make the least of my membership.  I made the most of it for awhile.  Now I just like the diamond and the feeling of belonging.

10th fail? Congrats Cool

Personally, I've always found membership a waste of money. Just think of all those pre-owned chess books you could buy for that price :)

Wow,been 3 years since i made this thread,how time flies.I did cross 1800 and still play a lot of blitz unfortunately.My chess.com diamond membership also expired somewhere in between and I have no plans of renewing it since i feel that for Rs.1500 an year,a Chessbase account is unbeatable in value.
